Travelers can be thankful for lower gas prices this week, but maybe not for the weather.

The average price for a gallon of gasoline is 20 cents lower than a year ago, according to the AAA Thanksgiving travel survey.

The expected high temperature on Thanksgiving: almost 30 degrees colder than 2012, with snow expected in the region Tuesday afternoon through early Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
